Perched upon a mighty cliff That overlooks the waves No sound of building houses Or roads that must be paved I never really thought about it Until the other day Storm rolled in and I watched the sparrow just up and fly away And if I were a sparrow I'd fly high enough to see Beyond my circumstances To a place God has for me Release me to another place No human eye can see My spirit cries for lullabies My Savior's love complete The sun is whispering in the sky And for awhile I'll stare Waiting for another day Of gliding through the air And if I were a sparrow I'd fly high enough to see Beyond my circumstances To a place God has for me Though I'll never fly with sparrows wings, still I know he watches me
